This site will help you to know what’s going on in the classroom! I will use this page to post assignments, helpful tools for homework, and start discussions about language and literature. I will upload files for use at home - in case you forget your homework, are absent, or want to review notes.

I am looking forward to a productive and empowering year!!!

The ninth grade English course focuses on the study of reading and literature, writing and language, speaking, listening, and viewing. Mastering the five-paragraph essay is the main writing component for this course. Each student also completes frequent on-demand writing and prepared writing. Literacy concepts are taught through the study of short stories, plays, and novels. Speaking and listening skills are practiced throughout the year.

This course is designed to promote success toward taking higher level courses in English.  It is an accelerated approach to the standard English curriculum with additional material covered in literature, writing, and grammar.  The course is designed for the student of higher ability and/or a willingness to accept a greater challenge.
